Godfather Films – Our Story

One of my biggest joys is seeing people happy. You know like when a five year old ring bearer is fixated on a piece of wedding cake or when Mom cries during the father-daughter dance and when our bride is taken in by her own beauty when she catches herself in the mirror. I’ve always believed that our most prized possessions are not things but the memories of our adventures, celebrations and the people we love. The purpose of wedding video is time travel…for us and our future family members. – John Goolsby ~ Professional Storyteller, Named One of the Top 25 Event Filmmakers in the World and inducted into the Wedding Video Hall of Fame

Do you remember how elementary school teachers would assign jobs to students such as chalkboard monitor and line leader? Godfather Films founder John Goolsby was assigned the job of movie projector operator in fifth grade. How prophetic because since the founding of our company in 1986, we have gone on to produce more than 3000 wedding and corporate films traveling to 32 states and 25 countries.

At Godfather Films we are 100% committed to the highest standards in technical quality by constantly investing in the latest high definition cameras and building our own high speed editing computers. Our team regularly participates in film making conventions, both as students and teachers to other filmmakers.

We truly value our relationship with top wedding planners around the world who refer our services and the more than 50 hotels and country clubs who have listed us as the recommend filmmaker for their clients.

When it comes to filming Life Events such as Weddings, Anniversaries, Quinceaneras and Mitzvahs, it is so much more to us than just recording great images of how people look. We love recording how people feel.
